    Hahahha but ‘me chupa un huevo’ would be literally something like ‘I’m sucked by an egg’… which makes it even weirder…

    sup Stephen, nice article.
    “Me chupa un huevo” “[he / it] licks one of my balls”, makes me think about another expression “Chupame un huevo”, literally “suck one of my balls”, and it is used as an equivalent to “go f#ck yourself” or “f#ck off”
    And “ni en pedo” means “not even drunk”, but it is used in a wider sense as “no way”
    cheers from canada

    • Haha! Thanks Martin. When I think of it as ‘suck my balls’ or something like that, then it seems much more similar to English. Although, of course, ‘me chupa un huevo’ is much more common, I think. Cheers!
